How to open VX file?
The main problem with Opera is that the VX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Opera browser
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Opera browser is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Opera browser into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VX files.
Programs to open VX file
Remember to download programs supporting VX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Opera browser with VX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VX file still does not use the Opera browser program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VX file with the Opera browser program.
Step 3. Update Opera browser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Opera browser program, it is possible that Opera requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Opera Software ASA website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Opera Software ASA, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the VX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VX file again. However, some background programs may block the VX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
